We hope you will check out our website, follow us on Facebook, and commit to exploring all of your Pierce County Parks this year. Parks are valuable public assets. Surveys show that most people visit parks and recreation facilities at least twice a month, with many being weekly or daily users. As you will read in this report, we’ve captured almost 3 million uses of the park system in 2019. As our community grows, the demand for parks, protection of natural resources and safe and affordable public recreation also grows. Parks improve the physical, emotional, and mental health of individuals and provide stronger social connections that build a sense of community; making parks crucial to making Pierce County a great place to live, work, and raise a family. Our services are proactive, accommodating and accessible, meeting the needs of all abilities across one’s life span and, as a bonus, lead to tourism that sparks our economy. That is why Parks is an important government

service provider along with police and fire. So, when you feel like you need respite from the demands of life, take the time to venture into your county park system, breath in deeply and relax. Know that we’re here for you … every day. We recently updated our Pierce County Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Plan. It captures the dreams and needs you’ve shared with us throughout the years and outlines a 10-year vision and capital program to reinvest and build our system to meet the needs of generations to come. You’ll see a renewed commitment to building a great regional trail system, expansion into lesser served communities, and a deeper focus on management of open space. In short, you’ll see our mission being fulfilled in a way that is responsive to the things that you’ve told us matter the most to you so you can continue to love calling Pierce County home!

Highlights & Major Activities Chambers Creek Regional Park (CCRP) The 185-acre park, created by the Sewer Utility, wraps around Chambers Bay Golf Course and offers spectacular water and mountain views. Trails extend into the adjacent 205-acre Chambers Creek Canyon. The park includes four miles of paved trails, children’s play equipment, two off-leash dog parks, picnic areas, two miles of beach, two open space meadows, two soccer fields, and the newly constructed 9-acre Event Lawn. Parks also manages meeting and event rentals at the Environmental Services Building (ESB). The new Event Lawn, located south of the Central Meadow, was designed to host large athletic events such as cross-country competitions and grass volleyball tournaments while providing an additional parking area for regional summertime events. The Event Lawn is the equivalent of three full-size soccer fields and features a state-of-the-art irrigation system. Along with the Central Meadow, the Event Lawn can be reserved throughout the year. The Chambers Creek Foundation, UP Refuse and Recycle, University Place Modern Dentistry, and local Scout Troops have added great value to the site though community partnerships and in-kind support. For example, the Spring Egg Hunt doubled in attendance and garnered approximately 5,000 people from across the region in 2019. In addition, Park staff coordinated and hosted a Family Campout, Sunset Yoga and the Kidz Kraze Children’s Festival. It is worth noting that due to the construction of the Event Lawn, the annual Kite Festival was placed on hold for the 2019 year. It is slated to return, expanding to a two-day festival, in the summer of 2020. Chambers Creek Regional Park staff worked in concert with the Washington Interscholastic Athletic Association (WIAA) to host two cross country events: the Curtis Invitational and District 3’s Westside Classic.

| PIERCE COUNTY PARKS ANNUAL REPORT 2019

Non-profit organizations including the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, the Muscular Dystrophy Association, and the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation hosted charity walk/run events along the paved trails. The department continued and strengthened partnerships with Pierce County Planning and Public Works’ environmental educators, Foss Waterway Seaport, UK Elite, and DiscNW Ultimate Frisbee to produce educational and sport-focused camps for the community, adding to the popularity and diversity of offerings at this treasured regional park.

Chambers Bay Golf Course

Lake Spanaway Golf Course

Located in University Place, Chambers Bay Golf Course is one of the top public courses in the nation and the first course in the Northwest to welcome the U.S. Open Championship. The department oversees the 340-acre British links-style course and clubhouse with management by Kemper Sports for daily operations.

The 129-acre Lake Spanaway golf course, designed by the legendary A.V. Macan, is a beacon in the community as a championship course that is open to all with a marketing tagline, “Neighborhood Feel, Championship Pedigree.” Weather, course improvements, and marketing that appeals to new customers resulted in almost 5,000 more rounds in 2019 over 2018; 113% of prior year.

Excitement around the replacement of the putting surfaces drove the second best 9-month (Apr-Dec) activity levels in history. The golf course opened April 4th for public play and achieved 104% of the projected annual rounds of golf. Prior year rounds (January-September) were 26,806. Average green fee per round was $113.84. Of the rounds played, 33% were at non-resident rates, 16% were resident rates and 51% were rates associated with industry categories or promotional rates. Approximately 69% of available tee-times were utilized. Academy lessons, memberships, and merchandise sales grew in 2019. Merchandise revenues exceeded budget by $115,995; performing 18% better than budgeted. The Chambers Bay Academy has continued to grow, exceeding budget by 17% and prior year by 24%. Food and beverage average fell just short of prior year (<1%) primarily due to catering revenues which fell short (3%) of the record-setting 2018. On course food and beverage revenues grew by more than 18% due to the increase in overall rounds played. In short, the improved golfing experience led to more spending overall at the course. Go Bond principal and interest of $1,188,430 was paid in 2019.

In 2019 Lake Spanaway hosted the 52nd Puget Sound Amateur which attracted 144 golfers from across the region in a two-day championship event, with the finals played at Chambers Bay. On July 16th the course hosted the U.S. Amateur Qualifier where 65 participants competed for two spots at the National Amateur Championship in Pinehurst, NC. In September, LSGC hosted the 33rd Senior and 12th Super Senior Men’s Amateur Championships. This marks the second consecutive year hosting one of Washington State’s premier championships. The Senior Amateur welcomed 57 golfers and the Super Senior Amateur drew a field of 33 participants. Alongside local championships, Lake Spanaway hosts a robust Men’s and Ladies Club who host over 12 events a year that draw almost 1,000 rounds. Lake Spanaway is also the home course for four school golf teams including Rogers, Spanaway, Franklin Pierce, and Washington High schools. Improvements to the course and clubhouse in 2019 included installation of a new drainage system on the #13 and #14 greens, clubhouse cart storage expansion, an update to the public address system and renovations to restaurant equipment, clubhouse tile, and lighting.

Sprinker regularly hosts the 555 Military Brigade and their families for an all-day celebration that draws well over 1,000 participants. Cross Revolution Cyclocross Association considers Sprinker the perfect location for a leg of their race series which draws over 500 cyclists from all over the region. The unique combination of open space and activities at Sprinker is a rare find. Special events include Touch a Truck, Mobile Food Fest, Junk in the Trunk, Classic Car and Truck Show, Reflections on Ice, Holiday Crafter’s Creations, Movies in the Park and Winterfest as annual staples and some of the most beloved activities. Sprinker became one of thirteen locations in the United States to host Ice Bumper cars on Saturday, May 25, 2019, attracting new users and adding to the appeal of the site. We provided rides to over 8,000 participants and were able to cover the expense of purchasing the cars within the first year of operations! We look forward to the success and new opportunities that our ice bumper cars will bring Sprinker, already contributing to growth in public skate sessions, private ice rentals for business retreats, birthday parties, and year-end school functions. Partnerships are extremely important to the success of Sprinker. Both youth and adult athletic organizations such as the Ice Sports Industry, Tacoma Youth Hockey, the Lakewood Winter Club, Greater Seattle Hockey League, Pacific Northwest Tennis and others ensure the best recreation opportunities and instruction are provided.

One of the greatest partnership successes came in the form of a grant from the Washington State Recreation and Conservation Office. The Pierce Outdoor Leadership Instruction and Field Experiences (LIFE) program is a collaborative project to provide court-associated youth living in unincorporated Pierce County with access to nature-based and recreation-based outdoor adventure experiences. Washington State University Cooperative Extension and Pierce County Juvenile Court are key partners with Pierce County Parks for the Outdoor LIFE; 55 youth participated in the program in 2019.

Conservation & Natural Land Stewardship Conservation Futures & Open Space The Conservation Futures Program completed a total of seven project purchases from the 2017 and 2019 grant cycle adopted selection lists including: • • • • • • •

Mountain View Dairy for PCC Farmland Trust (2017) Fennel Creek/Knoblauch for Forterra (2017) East Rocky Creek for Greater Peninsula Conservancy (2017) 52nd Wetlands for the City of Tacoma (2017) Victor Falls Expansion for the City of Bonney Lake (2017) Springbrook Phase II for the City of Lakewood (2019) Gateway Park Expansion for Key Pen Parks (opportunity fund 2019)

In 2019, 1,074 acres were conserved through the Conservation Futures open space grant program. Twelve applications from 2018 were reviewed and scored by the Conservation Futures and Open Space Citizens’ Advisory Board. To date, 6,633 acres have been secured and preserved through this program.

Natural Land Stewardship Natural Lands welcomed our new Washington Conservation Corps (WCC) crew! This team of five AmeriCorps members provides a dedicated labor force to improve trails and restore habitats throughout Pierce County Parks’ open spaces. The 2019 work plan included an initiative to improve trails in Parks’ open space areas. Partnering with the Washington Trails Association, Natural Lands designed and constructed 0.5 mile of new trail through Chambers Creek Canyon and created a plan for an additional mile. Natural Lands then surveyed and assessed all trail systems throughout Bresemann Forest, Buckley Forestland Preserve, Orangegate Park, and Plateau Park; trail plans were completed for Bresemann Forest and Buckley Forestland Preserve. The WCC crew finished out the year in Buckley Forestland Preserve, improving over 2 miles of trail and decommissioning 1.5 miles of trail to restore and protect wildlife habitat. Natural Lands continues to monitor trees for safety. In 2019, hazardous trees were removed from Spanaway Park and select areas of the Foothills Trail. To better monitor and care for our trees, Natural Lands inventoried all landscape trees throughout the Park system and uploaded them as assets in the Parks database. Additionally, Natural Lands completed tree care standards for mulching; mulching protects roots from soil compaction, helps maintain soil moisture, and provides nutrients to trees. Pitch-In-For-Parks volunteers continue to show their support through their hard work and efforts. In 2019, the program held 16 events with 334 volunteers donating 776 hours of time to plant native trees and shrubs, grub Himalayan blackberry, and remove English ivy from trees. 15

Park Maintenance & Operations Our Parks maintenance staff takes a great deal of pride in making sure that developed parks and facilities are always ready for public use. They are responsible for opening the gates, ensuring functional utilities, servicing equipment, securing facilities, maintaining healthy vegetation, mowing the grass, hauling garbage, cleaning the rest rooms and picnic shelters, lining the fields, manicuring the putting greens and fairways, maintaining miles of trails, and supporting recreation programs and facility rentals. In addition to the 12 large parks listed in this report, Pierce County Parks maintains 38 other properties including cemeteries, rental homes, local playfields like Gonyea, Lidford, and Mayfair, neighborhood parks like Dawson, and several parcels being held for future development. The Parks division applies a three-tier level of service (low, medium, and high) based on the degree to which the public has access to a site. The highest level of service is provided at our 12 developed primary regional and county park locations that offer programs and events in addition to passive drop-in use opportunities. Those sites that are seasonal or not developed are maintained on a more responsive basis to prevent misuse or deterioration of the site. The entire Parks system includes 5,234.9 acres of all types, as described in the inventory. Park care is divided into four geographic zones: • West Region Chambers Creek, Key Peninsula, and Lakewood • North Region Foothills Trail and Lake Tapps/Plateau • South Region South Hill Puyallup, Graham, Ashford, and Frederickson • Central Region Spanaway and Mid-County

The median-level operating expenditures nationwide is $6,750 per acre of lands managed by a park agency. The average cost per developed acre for Pierce County is $7,473, and $2,574 if costs are spread across all 5,234 acres managed by the department.

Park Improvements Many preservation and repair projects were accomplished in 2019 funded through the Planned Maintenance Program, Parks Sales Tax, and Parks Maintenance and Operation budgets. In most cases the work is done in-house by employees with trade skills to ensure that Parks facilities are properly maintained and safe for public use. Regular and responsive maintenance extends the useful life of assets and ensures a quality user experience by properly repairing, replacing, and improving assets in a timely manner.

Capital Project Completion Parks regularly updates a 10-year view of capital needs that is captured in long-term planning documents. This provides guidance for the upcoming scheduled 6-year program of improvements that can be accomplished with available funding. Improvements are scheduled based on need, resources, and policy decisions. Capital projects are funded through three primary revenue sources: Park Impact Fees, 2nd Real Estate Excise Tax (2nd REET), and Park Sales Tax. Park Impact Fees are used to bring new capacity to the park system through 1) expanding the regional trail system, 2) adding new features in existing parks, and 3) adding parks in urbanizing areas of the county. 2nd REET funds must be used for capital projects identified in the Capital Improvement Plan for planning, construction, or preservation of parks. Park Sales Tax funds can be used for financing, acquisition, capital construction, administration, maintenance, and operations within the park system. Twenty projects were scheduled for 2019. Many projects were in the design phase, while other projects were completed in 2019. Funding not expended is carried into the next year for the completion of planned projects. Several small projects were completed in 2019, while some large projects finalized design and permitting in 2019, with construction planned for 2020. 17

A Demand and Needs Assessment, along with a current inventory of Parks’ properties, led to this 10-year plan for improvements throughout the park system to better serve the health and recreation needs of Pierce County residents.

Chambers Creek Regional Park Event Lawn Completion The construction of a new 7-acre Event Lawn at Chambers Creek Regional Park has been completed. This space will bring new programming to the park and better serve existing outdoor events like the Kite Festival and the Spring Egg Hunt. The Event Lawn will be used for local, regional, and national athletic events, and provide additional parking for outdoor events.

Stan & Joan Cross Park Construction Begins In 2019, design of Cross Park was completed and construction began in June. Cross Park’s iconic hay and dairy barns are being renovated as a new community center. Also being added are a playground, picnic tables, trails and open lawn areas. Construction at Cross Park is anticipated to be completed summer of 2020.

Frontier Park Accessibility Path Paving As part of our Transition Plan for American with Disabilities Act (ADA) Improvements, Parks constructed new paved, accessible routes connecting parking stalls, park offices and livestock areas at Frontier Park.

Lidford Walking Path and ADA Parking Improvements Parks constructed a gravel walking path, ADA parking stalls, and a concrete sidewalk at Lidford Playfield.

North Lake Tapps Bulkhead and Restroom Replacement Reconstruction of the bulkhead at North Lake Tapps Park began in 2019. The project will reduce the erosion of the popular lakefront lawn area and will be ready for use in the summer of 2020. Construction includes the creation of a pocket beach, a trail to a Mt. Rainier viewpoint, replacement of a restroom, and fishing pier and boat ramp improvements.

Financial Highlights Parks relies on general fund sources, earned revenue, and park sales tax to maintain and operate the park system. Chambers Creek Regional Park, Lake Spanaway Golf Course and the Pierce County Fair are managed through separate funds and account for $10.7 million in operating expenditures. The rest of the park system’s programs and sites cost $13.3 million to operate in 2019. The Conservation Futures Program funds acquisition and preservation of natural lands for public benefit; a majority of funding is distributed through a grant program to partners across Pierce County. The Construction Revenue Funds and some Conservation Futures funding is transferred into the Construction and Acquisition Project funds when the projects are ready to commence. Collectively, approximately $15.6 million, or nearly 40% of the department’s funding is associated with capital projects to preserve or improve the park system or the Conservation Futures program. The projects are prioritized and scheduled in the department’s adopted Capital Facilities Program. The budget allocated the department with $55.2 million for planned expenditures. A total of $39.6 million was spent. Unexpended capital construction revenues are intentionally carried forward into the next year to accumulate until they are needed to complete projects. Regional Parks are the most expensive to operate given their size and facilities, but also have the most revenue generating potential. Golf courses, tournament facilities, rental area, and events provide higher overall cost recovery expectations and performance. The health of these two sites strongly influence the overall resource needs of the department. This report details how operating funds and capital funding is spent and the return on investment for our community. All public resources are leveraged to bring in additional funding to operate or improve the park system.

PROS PLAN

The Pierce County Council passed a 10-year plan for development of Pierce County’s park system on February 11, 2020. The Parks, Recreation and Open Space Plan (PROS) will guide improvements of more parks and trails than has been possible over the past 30 years. The plan matches the needs for park and trail assets with available county, state and federal funding sources and provides a blueprint to meet needs and accomplish many projects in the upcoming decade. Projects include a mix of improvements and expansions to existing facilities and development of new facilities that will serve residents across unincorporated Pierce County. View the entire PROS Plan on our website at www.piercecountywa.gov/PROS.

Relation to Growth Management Act Pierce County adopted an update to the Parks, Recreation, and Open Space (PROS) Plan in 2014. This plan is part of the County’s Land Use Plan under the Growth Management Act. The PROS Plan restates the regional emphases of the County park system. The PROS Plan provides Capital Improvement and Capital Facilities selection criteria that implement section 19A.100.010 D29 (a) of the County Land Use Plan. The adopted LOS standard for Parks is based on an investment per capita.

Capital Priorities

Park Revenue Accounts

Planning and System Management:

PARKS AND RECREATION FISCAL POLICIES

1. Revenues collected through impact fees should be spent on capacity projects that serve the urban area. 2. Capital projects to increase park capacity should be linked to growth and demand. 3. Revenues collected through impact fees should be spent as follows: 38% to trails 32% to existing parks 30% to new parks General Fund: 1. Revenue support from the General Fund should be primarily for administration, maintenance and operations. 2. General Fund support for Parks should be adjusted annually to support maintenance and operation costs associated with new capacity projects and programs introduced to the system. 3. General Fund revenues should not be supplanted by revenues from impact fees or other sources. 4. Capital improvements should not be constructed unless accompanied by the necessary operation and maintenance funding. Park Sales Tax: 1. Park Sales Tax revenues should be used primarily for capital improvements and preservation of the park system with a portion available as needed for operations and maintenance. Second REET: 1. Second REET revenues dedicated to Parks should be used for capital improvements and preservation. Motor Vehicle Fuel Tax: 1. Motor Vehicle Fuel Tax should be used primarily for operations and maintenance of trails. As new trails are added to the park system, the percentage of motor vehicle fuel tax used for trail operations and maintenance should be adjusted to support additional operations and maintenance costs. Impact Fees: 1. Impact fees should be used for capital improvements that add capacity to the park system. 1. Planning and programming for the park system should ensure facilities and services are provided to the areas of greatest need and serve large populations. 2. Park improvements should be designed to maximize flexibility of space and provide maximum capacity 3. Capital improvements should address user interests and recreational trends. 4. Utilize “MOPIA” terminology (Maintenance, Operations, Preservations, Improvements, Administration). 5. ADA upgrades must be prioritized with revenues other than impact fees.

NEXT MEETING: Tuesday, August 18, 2020, via Zoom Video Conference

PIERCE COUNTY PARKS Citizens’ Advisory Board August 18, 2020 Meeting Minutes The meeting was called to order by Candy Paris-Sundsmo, Chair, at 6:08 p.m., virtually via Zoom. A quorum was present. ROLL CALL: CAB Members present: Aaron Bert, Joan Cross, Derek Barry, Ricky Clousing and Candy Paris-Sundsmo. Staff members present: Roxanne Miles, Kyle Wintermute, Kimberly Freeman, and Emily Smith CAB Member(s) absent: TJ Stevenson (excused), Caleb Heimlich (excused) and Mary Brickle (excused) MINUTES APPROVAL: Board members approved the May 19, 2020 minutes. AGENDA ADDITIONS/DELETIONS: Agenda was approved as presented. PRESENTATION & BOARD DISCUSSIONS: Board members discussed the amount of absences from Parks CAB member TJ Stevenson that violate the By Laws and decided to move forward with filling his position. A. Park Use and Phase 2 Programming: 

Kyle went over the handout regarding Park Use and Phase 2 programming with the group. Trail use numbers skyrocketed between March and May due to the COVID19 pandemic. Aaron asked Kyle how he formulated the trail numbers. Kyle explained that we have trail counters at each location that calculate this data for Parks.



The usage data for North Lake Tapps and Spanaway Park was compared next. North Lake Tapps had much higher numbers than last year whereas Spanaway Park had lower numbers. Kyle explained that Spanaway Park has lower numbers due to not renting out the picnic shelters or allowing large group gatherings to stay in compliance with the COVID19 regulations. Spanaway Lake had toxic algae blooms which closed the boat launch for roughly three weeks; also decreasing usage numbers. Derek asked Kyle if Parks was limiting the usage of North Lake Tapps Park. Kyle explained that if we just had drive thru traffic at the Park, there would be plenty of room for patrons to properly social distance. However, it is the walk-in usage that is overcrowding the park currently. Parks is talking with the Sherriff at North Lake Tapps to see if we can enforce restricting walk-ins to allow for proper social distancing at the Park. If we are not able to restrict walk-ins, we will have to continue limiting the access to the Park in order to allow patrons to distance properly.



There were many summer program and events cancelled due to the COVID19 pandemic. Parks staff has been working very diligently to find ways to offer programs while following the safe start guidelines. In Phase 2 we are offering a new program, Meet Me in the Park, which offers specialized programming for patrons with special needs. In Phase 3 we are offering one of our more notable events, Fantasy Lights, as a drive through only event.

B. Financial Impacts Update: Pierce County Parks CAB

08-18-2020

Page 1



Roxanne reviewed the financial impacts handout with the group. Parks is keeping several positions vacant to counter act the loss in revenue due to COVID19. Fantasy Lights will bring in a significant amount of revenue to the Parks department that will help with losses due to the pandemic. Rentals and programs create a significant amount of revenue for the department. COVID19 has put a stop to all rentals and most programs which has impacted the budget negatively. Roxanne discussed the large amount of retirements the department has had this year which has also helped make up for the loss in revenue. Aaron asked if the pandemic has made management reconsider the amount of staff they have on hand. Roxanne explained that Parks has reevaluated position and program needs to make things more efficient.

C. Introduction to Title 14: 

Kimberly briefly explained that Title 14 is our Parks and Recreation code and how we regulate the activity in our parks. We are working on revising the code to be up to date with current activity. Kimberly discussed how Parks will be showing the CAB different iterations of Title 14 as items are revised.

MEETING ADJOURNED: The meeting adjourned at 8:02 p.m. NEXT MEETING: Tuesday, November 17, 2020 virtually via Zoom

PIERCE COUNTY PARKS Citizens’ Advisory Board November 17, 2020 Meeting Minutes The meeting was called to order by Candy Paris-Sundsmo, Chair, at 6:14 p.m., virtually via Zoom. A quorum was present. ROLL CALL: CAB Members present: Aaron Bert, Caleb Heimlich, Candy Paris-Sundsmo, Derek Barry, Angela Gallardo, Mary Brickle. Staff members present: Roxanne Miles, Tiffany Odell, Kimberly Freeman, and Emily Smith CAB Member(s) absent: Joan Cross (excused) MINUTES APPROVAL: Board members approved the August 18, 2020 minutes. AGENDA ADDITIONS/DELETIONS: Agenda was approved as presented. PRESENTATION & BOARD DISCUSSIONS: A. Capital Project Update: •

Kimberly reviewed the Capital Project updates with a virtual presentation. Aaron asked if the Planned Maintenance Project order is determined by comments from the public or is work order driven? Roxanne explained that it is a combination and is continuing to evolve. We have spent the last year getting all our assets into Enterprise Asset Management program. Life cycles are entered into our asset program, but we also have our maintenance team visit these sites to inspect the assets and do a quality check. The repairs can either be due to the life cycle timeline or poor quality during the site visit. Kimberly added that we also assign a project type such as safety, functionality, benefit to public and capacity. Safety always takes priority over other project types when determining the priority of the project.

B. 2020-2026 Strategic Plan Overview: •

Tiffany reviewed the 2020-2026 Strategic Plan with a virtual presentation. Derek asked if COVID has reprioritized projects that you want to see moving forward? Roxanne explained that we haven’t reprioritized yet. We would like to see what the public’s needs and wants are post COVID as some of the population may not change behavior and will want to continue with outdoor activities only. Candy asked Roxanne if she expects an increase in numbers of cars at Fantasy Lights? Roxanne does expect an increase in vehicle traffic at Fantasy Lights as we have premium, regular and discount nights which allows more opportunity for everyone to attend.

C. 4th Quarter finances and programming: •

Roxanne reviewed 4th Quarter finances and programming with a virtual presentation. Our 45000 Golf fund is doing well as this activity thrived during the spring/summer months when most activities were closed due to COVID restrictions. We’ve been able to save some costs in our other funds by not filling open positions. Angela asked how the current staff feels about the vacancies and covering for the open positions that aren’t being filled? Roxanne stated that the employees are doing okay. Some roles have shifted due to the COVID restrictions on activities and special events. Our recreation staff specifically have been stretched and forced to be more creative with activity and special event ideas.

NEW BUSINESS: A. Draft 2021 Workplan/Preparation for February CAB Meeting •

This has been converted into the new quarterly meeting decision. 2021 is a budget development year, so this may determine what the priorities are to discuss each quarter. The official workplan will need to be adopted in February of 2021. Angela asked when the new Parks County Code was going to be adopted? Kimberly said we are looking to have it adopted in June, so August would be a good time to bring it to the Parks CAB for input.

B. Membership and Recruitment •

There are two open positions for District 5 and District 6. We have received recommendations for both districts and will be filling these positions soon.

C. Board Comments •

Caleb mentioned his family is loving the new Cross Park since it has been opened.

•

Derek thanked Roxanne for reviewing the finances and commended her for the decisions made during COVID.

NEXT MEETING: Tuesday, February 16th virtually via Zoom MEETING ADJOURNED: The meeting adjourned at 7:42 p.m.

CHAMBERS CREEK REGIONAL PARK Enterprise Fund

Summary:

The Chambers Creek Properties consist of over 950 acres located along the shores of Puget Sound and within Chambers Creek Canyon. The properties lie primarily within the City of University Place and include the County’s Chambers Creek Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant, Environmental Services Building (ESB), Chambers Bay Golf Course, and hundreds of acres of recreational property adjoining these facilities. The Chambers Creek Regional Park Fund is responsible for the operation and maintenance of the Chambers Bay Golf Course operated under contract by Kemper Sports Management; operation, recreational programming, and landscape maintenance of the recreational properties contained within the Chambers Creek Properties Master Site Plan; and, landscape maintenance within the Chambers Creek Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant. The Chambers Bay Golf Course is the centerpiece of the Chambers Creek Regional Park recreational properties. The course is an 18-hole championship design that hosted the United States Golf Association (USGA) 2015 U.S. Open Championship. The purpose of the course is to enhance the County’s economic development efforts, provide an environmental showcase through the utilization of wastewater treatment plant byproducts, and generate revenue for both the course operations and other recreational features located on the properties. In July 2011, the Public Works Department contracted operational responsibility for the Chambers Creek Regional Park fund to the Parks and Recreation Department. Limited Tax General Obligation Refunding Bonds, 2015A — The 2015A Limited Tax General Obligation Refunding Bonds refunded three series of bonds. The portion of the 2015A bonds which relate to Chambers Bay totaled $16,430,000 at issuance with interest rates between 2.0% and 5.0%. These bonds are serial bonds due in annual installments ranging from $465,000 through $1,150,000 with a final maturity of August 1, 2035. Financing is provided from the net revenues of the golf course, net revenues of the sewer utility, or the general fund. Bonds maturing on or after August 1, 2026 are callable at any time on or after August 1, 2025. The outstanding bond balance on December 31, 2021 is $12,510,000.

Budget Highlights:

The 2020-21 biennial budget for the Chambers Creek Regional Park is 10.2%, or $2.4 million, below the prior biennium. The budget includes support for hosting the 2021 U.S. Amateur Four-Ball Championship.

PARKS AND RECREATION SERVICES General Fund

Summary:

The Parks and Recreation Services Department provides leisure and facility services to residents of Pierce County. The Department maintains over 3,452 acres at 47 park sites, which include two community centers, four boat launch sites, 34 miles of trails, and a large variety of passive and active facilities. Several sites are committed to remain in their natural state without development. Parks and Recreation provides programs which include athletics, tournaments, youth and adult sports teams and leagues, arts, touring services, youth camps, special needs and inclusion programming, tennis, badminton, pickle ball, golf, bicycling, skateboarding, ice skating, figure skating, hockey, cooperative play for families, snow skiing, walks, runs, and environmental projects. In addition, the Recreation Division offers several regional special events such as Fantasy Lights at Spanaway Park, Reflections Ice Show, Tour de Pierce family bicycle ride, and the Classic Car Show. Partnerships with local school districts, community groups, and businesses play an important role in enhancing the Department’s ability to deliver quality parks and recreation services. Volunteers working in the recreation programs are relied upon for their enthusiasm and knowledge which allows us to offer programs that can meet the needs of a unique and culturally diverse population in Pierce County. Nearly 100 contractual agreements are administered each year for recreation programs designed to be self-supporting with money generated from fees, grants, and donations. Over 3,300,000 visitors are served annually by Pierce County Parks and Recreation facilities, events, and activities.

Budget Highlights:

The 2020-21 biennial budget for Parks and Recreation Services is 13.6%, or $2.2 million, above the prior biennium. The budget includes resources for expanded programming at Sprinker Recreation Center and Spanaway Regional Park, and for deferred maintenance projects at Lidford Playfield and Frontier Park. The budget provides 1.0 new FTE to support expanded programming.

PARKS SALES TAX FUND Special Revenue Fund

Summary:

On September 19, 2000, the voters of Pierce County approved Proposition 1, authorizing the imposition of a sales and use tax equal to one tenth of one percent within Pierce County to be used for regional and local parks, accredited zoos, aquariums, and wildlife preserves. The allocation of the tax receipts (which was imposed on January 1, 2001) was established as 50% for the Zoo/Trek Authority Board and 50% for the cities and Pierce County. The second 50% is in turn allocated to the cities (or Metro Park Districts) and the County based upon the most recent state certified population figures. The Parks Sales Tax Fund receives the County’s allocation and accounts for the disbursement of these funds.

Budget Highlights:

The 2020-21 biennial budget for the Parks Sales Tax Fund is 7.1% above the prior biennium and supports the projects listed on the Project Summary table shown on the following page. The budget includes 1.0 new FTE and the reallocation of 0.5 FTE from the Golf Course Fund to support operations at Cross Park, and 3.0 new FTEs to support an increase in capital projects and prioritize the opening of Park and Trail sites.
